Those around her must be relieved therefore that Meghan is now taking a step back, with her maternity leave reportedly starting this week.

Meghan, who is expecting her first child with Prince Harry in April, is entitled to a six month break, with sister-in-law Kate Middleton paving the way before her, but it is unlikely that she will take the entire six months.

Kate returned to royal duties just two months after having Princess Charlotte, and attended official events just six weeks after giving birth to Prince George. The Duchess took a longer maternity leave with Prince Louis, but still she came out of leave to attend the Queen’s birthday and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding.

It is not known how long of a maternity leave Meghan Markle will take, but everyone can definitely agree that she deserves it.
